Entry level eye tracker

The PCEye Explore is an entry level, peripheral eye tracker that opens up the wonderful world of gaze interaction to everyone. With the PCEye Explore, young or inexperienced users get a simple, fun and no-fail way to learn how to use eye tracking and gaze interaction, while at the same time preparing for AAC communication.

Connect it to your laptop or desktop and PCEye Explore lets you move the mouse pointer and perform left clicks, using only your eyes. This basic functionality, in combination with the vast number of compatible software titles and webpages, lets users splat, smudge, reveal, paint, play, draw, make music and more, essentially leaving them no ways to fail, but plenty of opportunities to learn while having fun.

No-fail play to learn basics

Look at the screen and watch what happens. In a playful environment, learn the basics of gaze interaction by seeing a result from every action.

Track the responses

A visible mouse cursor shows where the eyes are looking. When actively engaging with the screen, it is possible to start looking for deliberate and appropriate responses.

Targeting and Learning

When familiar with the interaction process between the eyes and the screen try active targeting. With “no-fail” targeting software, there is always something fun, exciting, and interesting to experience.

Apps for fun and learning

Promote fun, excitement, escape, and "no-fail" activities through thousands of third party software titles and web applications. As long as the app works with a mouse cursor and an optional left mouse click, you can use it with PCEye Explore.

Windows 10 ready

Control your PCEye Explore with Gaze Point software that now supports Microsoft Windows 10. Use the settings to control the basic functionality of the PCEye Explore and a discreet, onscreen heads-up-display that indicates the correct position for optimum eye tracking performance.

Precise 1-point calibration

Calibrate the PCEye Explore in just a few seconds with 1-point calibration. This fast method still delivers a precise and accurate enough result to make full use of the PCEye Explore. It is ideal for quick calibrations of those unable or not in need of more accurate calibrations.

Cost benefits to schools and centers

The PCEye Explore provides great cost benefits to schools and resource centers that offer eye tracking to its students and users, either as a complement or an alternative to switch usage.

As a clip-on module, the PCEye Explore allows you to use it on different computers or to upgrade your desktop or laptop computer(s).

High accuracy, precision and robustness make the Tobii Dynavox PCEye Explore ideal for environments with different users. It can track most individuals, regardless of glasses, contacts lenses or dark or light pupils and supports multiple user profiles and magnetic mounts.

Play, Track, Learn

For over 20 years, teachers, parents, and therapists have used Boardmaker to create and design their own print and interactive symbol supported activities. These activities help to enhance learning and communication for students with special needs.

Now, imagine giving your students the ability to use Boardmaker interactive activities with their eyes. It's possible...with PCEye Explore!

When used together, the PCEye Explore and Boardmaker create an exciting and educational experience for entry-level eye tracker users. Here are just a few ways that teachers, therapists, and parents can take advantage of the PCEye Explore’s affordable new technology:

Who should use the PCEye Explore

The Tobii Dynavox PCEye Explore is ideal for many types of users, for example:

Preschoolers can start interacting with their parents through simple eye tracking and gaze interaction activities and games.

Those wanting to learn eye tracking and gaze interaction.

Those wanting, or needing, an alternative to switch usage.

Parents, teachers, SLPs or anyone else who needs to know if, and where, on the screen someone is looking, ideal for assessments and proving the users cognitive and physical abilites . The built in mouse cursor visibility gives a first indication, and for more advanced eye tracking and reporting PCEye Explore can be used with Gaze Viewer, which can record eye tracking data from any application, game or video and save it out as images or video sequences.

Those working with literacy and reading skills in mainstream schools, as well as in special education. With the build in mouse cursor indicator teachers can see how the eye is moving as the learner reads on the screen and respond appropriately. For more advanced analysis and reports Gaze Viewer can be used to record and replay eye tracking data.

How do I click?

You perform a left mouse click by focusing your eye gaze for a predetermined number of milliseconds on an object. The length of the time, the so called dwell time, is controlled in the settings.

What software can I run?

Basically you can use PCEye Explore with any software, game or web application that only requires moving the mouse and, optionally a left click. This is however somewhat dependent on the type of software that you use. With Windows Control you can access all the functions on your PC, whereas Gaze Point only allows you to move the mouse pointer and perform left clicks.

What is Gaze Viewer?

With Tobii Dynavox Gaze Viewer and a Tobii Dynavox eye tracker like PCEye Explore, you can record real eye tracking data from any application, whether from the Internet or e-books, games, movies and more.

Save the data as single images or movies, with heat maps and gaze plots, and use them to assess an individual’s physical capabilities and cognitive understanding. You can also make reports for eye gaze assessments, clinics, schoolwork, reading comprehension, clinical comprehension and more.

What is the difference between PCEye Mini and PCEye Exlore?

The Tobii Dynavox PCEye Explore differs somewhat from the PCEye Mini. Both are based on the extensive R&D of the Tobii Group, market leaders in eye tracking and gaze interaction.

Comparing the two eye trackers there are some differences in terms of the underlying technology, but more importantly also on functional and cost levels.

One of the most apparent technical differences is that the PCEye Explore requires a USB 3 connection to the desktop or laptop computer, whereas the PCEye Mini runs on USB 2.

If you are going to use gaze interaction on a screen larger than 19" we recoommend the PCEye Explore. For smaller screen sizes and for tablet use, we recommend the PCEye Mini and EyeMobile Mini.

Can I use the PCEye Explore with a switch?
